Study has big implications for management of bat populations Credit: Sarah Gignoux-Wolfsohn Scientists have found genetic differences between bats killed by white-nose syndrome and bats that survived, suggesting that survivors rapidly evolve to resist the fungal disease, according to a Rutgers-led study with big implications for deciding how to safeguard (..)

Biotech company Ultima Genomics has joined forces with Genome Insight, a bioinformatics-based biomedicine company, to overcome the caveat of cost and quality in WGS. Genome sequencing requires a powerful sequencer to decode the genetic makeup and an equally powerful analysis platform to make sense of the data generated.

USC researchers have achieved a better way to identify elusive DNA variants responsible for genetic changes affecting cell functions and diseases. Using computational biology tools, scientists at the university’s Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences studied “variable-number tandem repeats” (VNTR) in DNA.

Pathogen genomics analyzes the genetic code of viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing organisms to understand how infectious they are, how deadly they are, and how they spread. Diseases do not respect borders: a disease threat in one country is also a threat to others.

Last week geneticist Dr Charles Steward shared with us his experiences of searching for a genetic cause for his children’s rare neurological diseases. While it is a very rare form of epilepsy, it is such a cheap and harmless medication that it is often used as a first-line therapy for infants in intensive care who have no genetic diagnosis.
